Edinburgh Investment Trust Cleared for Further Share Trading, Fully Compliant with Market Abuse Regulation

Published: 22 Apr 2025
The Edinburgh Investment Trust PLC has verified its compliance with market abuse regulations and is not prevented from share transactions.

Edinburgh Investment Trust PLC, in an official statement dated 22 April 2025, has announced its full compliance with the stringent Market Abuse Regulation. The Company made it clear that there is no withheld information from directors or the company that could influence share transactions. This confirmation allows the organisation to repurchase its own securities or issue new ones, even during the closed financial period. This clearance is particularly significant as it comes just before the end of the fiscal year on 31 March 2025. As a result, the trust is not prohibited from carrying out significant share transactions during the ‘closed period’, an internal timeframe that concludes with the announcement of the year-end results. Should the financial results bode well, the Trust has the opportunity to sell more shares and raise capital, or buy back its shares to increase earnings per share. This versatility in operations will further galvanise the company’s stand in the competitive financial market. NSM Funds (UK) Limited, the Company Secretary, has been assigned to handle enquiries related to this announcement. The overall communication was approved by RNS, the London Stock Exchange’s news service, acting as a Primary Information Provider in the United Kingdom.
